Charlotte Urbanist Social Club

A private nonprofit club for the urbanists of Charlotte; a place to hang out and chill without renting tables or imposing on friends

@NCDOT Are public comments accepted at your monthly meetings? I would love to talk about pedestrian safety with your decision makers

[Charlotte Urbanist Social Club @CLT_SocialClub]

Fun fact: trains are far less likely to crash and cause delays!

UPDATE: There have been intermittent closures of both general purpose lanes as crews clear a crash + fluid spill I-77 SB prior to Langtree Rd. Expect major delays out of #Mooresville #clt #cltraffic #clttraffic

@Lowes, I don't think this is how bike racks work…

At Iverson Wy, Charlotte NC

@CharlotteDOT @NCDOT @CATSRideTransit,
Some weeks ago some car destroyed your pedestrian infrastructure at the Gold Line's Gateway stop, again. You might want to look into replacing them with something more durable…

[Charlotte Urbanist Social Club @CLT_SocialClub]

@Queen_City_News It'd be bigger news if a driver were charged…

[Charlotte Urbanist Social Club @CLT_SocialClub]

@candiedwishkey I imagine it could also help home the homeless, if we can get a non-profit together and raise some money

[Charlotte Urbanist Social Club @CLT_SocialClub]

Add some bollards for cars that like to jump the curbs and you've got me sold. (At least until you get a crew out to remove a lot of the now-useless concrete with grass, flowers, and trees)

Brand new traffic calming infrastructure on N 6th & Walnut in Milwaukee 🫡

I'd also like to sell you guys on a toll tunnel for Woodlawn Rd running from I-77 to Murrayhill Rd 😁

[Charlotte Urbanist Social Club @CLT_SocialClub]

Hey @NCDOT @CLTRegionalTPO, the traffic light on South Blvd to cross Tyvola Rd is awfully short for the long lines of cars. Have you considered a cut-and-cover tunnel for through traffic?

[Charlotte Urbanist Social Club @CLT_SocialClub]

@_Rob__G_ @kylejluebke I'd also like an extra test and/or minimum wage to drive a large pick-up truck or SUV, TBH. Too many drivers don't know how to make those things take a turn. They were built for driving empty grasslands, not urban environments

Want to make an impact on CATS bus stops and shelters?🚏🚌

Complete this brief survey to help inform the design of systemwide bus shelters: https://t.co/r8nKHm4WHf.

CATS selected two local artists to begin working on some initial concepts.🎨The survey results will guide them!

@_Rob__G_ 🤦🏼‍♀️

@BraxtonWinston In Wilmington, NC, DOT added a 2nd left turn lane, but for WEEKS the seniors didn't notice and kept making the far left turn and immediately cut into traffic to turn right (Wrightsville Ave at Oleander Dr). Police should've been there to give free eye exams

@lizfungirl @CLTdevelopment Next we need to get city zoning and developers to build their shopping centers up (with residential or offices) instead of building car-only one-story buildings… So much needs to be changed, incrementally

[Charlotte Urbanist Social Club @CLT_SocialClub]

@lizfungirl @CLTdevelopment Driverless car-shares may remove some need for so much parking, but they're still going to use the same amount of road space during peak hours. Investing more in public transit will save a lot of land for more useful pursuits

[Charlotte Urbanist Social Club @CLT_SocialClub]

.@CMPD, I saw several cars refuse to stop for a stopped @CharMeckSchools school bus at 516 E Woodlawn Rd this morning!

Seems like @NCDOT should invest in some cameras for automatic enforcement to mail fines…

@queencitynerve @CLTMayor 👀
Is Charlotte sending aid to Israel and/or Palestine? Why would that need to be discussed at a CITY council meeting?!
